Thank you for the clarification. Brent Balfanz Korean Karate Eddie Urbistondo wrote: Mr. Balfanz, Don't get me wrong or the wrong assumption about certification? To me, the only certification worth a damn, is the one the instructors sign. We are just making a point to you about the situation with certificates and Taekwondo today. I have had black belts that come to me from the ATA and the USTA (United States Taekwondo Alliance not to be confused with Grand Master Richard Chun's USTA) that I have offered purple belts to (our school's belts go white -- yellow -- purple) and I was being nice. It would be great if there was an assesment test for martial artists to see if they are worthy of your rank. If that were the case, there would be a lot less Black Belts in Taekwondo today.
